A Conversation Ad is a LinkedIn ad format that allows advertisers to deliver pre-determined messages to an inbox of a targeted LinkedIn member. It provides a chat-like experience between both the member and the advertiser. The Conversation Ads API allows advertisers to deliver customizable, branded messages directly to members' LinkedIn messaging inboxes.

Within our API, Conversation Ads are represented by the Sponsored Conversation entity. Sponsored Conversations are composed of Sponsored Message Content.
